A farmer fills his field proportionately with soybeans and corn. Last year he planted 200 acres of corn and 50 acres of soybeans

malfutka [58]

Answer:

Part A) Is a directly proportional

Part B) The constant of proportionality is $k=0.25$

Part C) The equation is $y=0.25x$

Part D) $62.5$ acres of soybeans

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) Are the number of acres of corn and the number of acres of soybeans directly proportional or inversely proportional?

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $y/x=k$

Let

x-----> the number of acres of corn

y----> the number of acres of soybeans

so

$y/x=k$

if the number of acres of corn increases then the number of acres of soybeans increases

if the number of acres of corn decreases then the number of acres of soybeans decreases

therefore

The relationship is a directly proportional

Part B) What is the constant of proportionality?

we have that

For x=200, y=50

substitute

$y/x=k$

$k=50/200$

$k=0.25$

Part C) Let x equal the number of acres of corn and y equal the number of acres of soybeans. Write an equation to show this relationship.

The linear equation that represent the direct variation is equal to

$y/x=k$

we have

$k=0.25$

substitute

$y/x=0.25$

$y=0.25x$

Part D) How many acres of soybeans can the farmer plant this year if he plants 250 acres of corn?

For x=250

Find the value of y

substitute in the linear equation the value of x and solve for y

$y=0.25(250)=62.5$ -----> acres of soybeans

three bags of sweets weigh 27/4 kg. two of them have the same weight and the third bag is heavier than each of the bags of equal

Nana76 [90]

I'm here buddy,

so, let's take the value of the two bags with equal weight as x.

= x + x + (x + $\frac{6}{5}$ ) = $\frac{27}{4}$

= 3x + $\frac{6}{5}$ = $\frac{27}{4}$

= 3x = $\frac{27}{4}$ - $\frac{6}{5}$

( let's take the LCM of 4 and 5 = 20

= 3x = $\frac{135}{20}$ - $\frac{24}{20}$

= 3x = $\frac{111}{20}$

= x = $\frac{111}{20}$ ÷ $\frac{3}{1}$ = $\frac{111}{20}$ × $\frac{1}{3}$ = $\frac{37}{20}$

So, the weight of the equal bags are $\frac{37}{20}$ and the weight of the third bag ( heavy one ) is $\frac{37}{20}$ + $\frac{6}{5}$ = $\frac{37}{20}$ + $\frac{24}{20}$ = $\frac{61}{20}$

1st bag = $\frac{37}{20}$ kg

2nd bag = $\frac{37}{20}$ kg

3rd bag = $\frac{61}{20}$ kg

Hope it helps...

Find the exact value of tan 15 degrees

pentagon [3]

<span>tan(15) =
sin(15) / cos(15) =
sin(45 - 30) / cos(45 - 30) =
[ sin(45)cos(30) - sin(30)cos(45) ] / [ cos(45)cos(30) + sin(45)sin(30)]

Since sin(45) = cos(45) = √2/2, you can just factor that out from the top and bottom
[ cos(30) - sin(30) ] / [ cos(30) + sin(30)]
[ √3/2 - 1/2 ] / [ √3/2 + 1/2]
(√3 - 1) / (√3 + 1)
(√3 - 1)^2 / (√3+1)(√3 - 1)
(√3 - 1)^2 / (3 - 1)
(3 - 2√3 +1) / 2
2 - √3

There's also a formula for tan(a-b), but I couldn't remember it off hand.</span>

If A and B are two points having coordinates (- 2, 2) and (2,-4) respectively, find the coordinates of P such that AP= AB.

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

(0,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The mid point of A(-2,2) and B(2,-4) is the coordinates of point P, which is (x,y)

Hence, the line AB = AP + PB.

At point AP: x = (-2+2)/2 = 0

also, point PB: y = (2 - 4)/2 = -1

Therefore, coordinates of point P = (0,-1)
